Real cheeses, like those from Reny Picot, have an ingredients list consisting of milk, salt, and enzymes. That's it. Reny Picot cheeses are 100% real cheese.
Real cheese is derived from milk, milk fat, and enzymes such as rennet to cause coagulation. While the process for different types of cheese vary according to the location, content, and ingredients such as spices, they all have a similar process that makes it genuine cheese.
Real cheese is made from raw, unpasteurized milk, and is full of healthy saturated fats, great flavor and wholesome nutrition. Unfortunately, many of the cheeses sold in grocery stores and used in restaurants are not real, raw cheeses. Most of the cheese products sold in America today are not made from organic milk.
The FDA calls it “pasteurized processed American cheese food.” In order for a food product to be a true “cheese,” it has to be more than half cheese, which is technically pressed curds of milk. So each Kraft American single contains less than 51% curds, which means it doesn't meet the FDA's standard.
A long list of cheeses fall under the category of unprocessed or "all-natural," including Havarti, Swiss, Colby, Gruyere, Manchego and most Cheddars.
ARE KRAFT SINGLES REAL CHEESE? KRAFT American Singles are a pasteurized prepared cheese product made with real cheddar cheese, dairy, and other ingredients. The cheese is blended and cooked with the other ingredients to create the unique, irresistible and ooey gooey melt that you know and love.

We do what we do for the love of 100% real, natural cheese; from ahead-of-its-time packaging to unique varieties, from industry firsts to industry bests.
98 percent of Kraft Singles is in fact "real" cheese, plus things like whey protein concentrate and sodium citrate. The rest of the ingredients are emulsifiers and preservatives that help it melt nicely and give it a long shelf-life.
The hard truth is that a lot of those “cheeses” in the cheese aisle aren't actually cheese, but food products made from cheese. So if the package says “processed cheese,” “prepared cheese,” or “cheese food,” it's 100% not cheese. Most of the time, it hovers around 50% cheese.
The cheese slice used in our menu items like our Big Mac®, Cheeseburger and Quarter Pounder™ with Cheese contains approximately 60% real cheese (51% Cheddar and 9% Other Cheeses).
American cheese isn't even considered to be real cheese. It's called a "pasteurized cheese product." While it was originally a blend of different cheeses like Colby and cheddar, now the American cheese we see in the likes of Kraft Singles is not made with at least 51 percent of real cheese.
Cheddar cheese (or simply cheddar) is a natural cheese that is relatively hard, off-white (or orange if colourings such as annatto are added), and sometimes sharp-tasting. Cheddar originates from the English village of Cheddar in Somerset.
Processed cheese undergoes the same processes as natural cheese; however, it requires more steps and many different forms of ingredients. Making processed cheese involves melting natural cheese, emulsifying and adding preservatives and other artificial ingredients or colorings.

Probiotics found in Swiss cheeses - such as Emmental and Gruyère – could help reduce inflammation and subsequently boost immunity.
REALITY. You don't have to cut cheese out of your diet, but if you have high cholesterol or blood pressure, use high-fat cheeses sparingly. A 30g portion of cheese provides seven per cent of your daily calories and there can be more salt in a portion of cheddar than in a packet of crisps.
McDonald's cheese is made by our trusted supplier, Fonterra, with milk from dairy farms around the country.
What are the best cheeses in the world? According to Taste Atlas, at the top of the list of the world's most popular cheeses, you find Parmigiano Reggiano and Gorgonzola piccante, followed closely by Burrata, Grana padano and Oaxaca cheese (from Mexico, also known as quesillo) in the top five.
Parmigiano Reggiano. Considered to be among the world's top quality cheeses, Parmigiano Reggiano is made with raw, semi-skimmed milk from cows grazing on fresh grass and hay. It has a hard, gritty texture and its flavors range from nutty to robust and slightly piquant, depending on how long the cheese had matured.
